2023 Cycling Challenge

@Rich_SC I've been seriously considering one - the only issue is room in my workout room. There's three of us... of different heights... so we all have personalized trainers and bikes up there. Plus a treadmill. Plus a workout bench with freeweights. Plus that's where my parrot's night cage is. That room is stuffed to the gills. I may have to take some measurements and see what can be done, though - it'd help a lot with the joint issues both I and the BF have.

So today's ride... recorded as 0.01 miles short. I am still counting it as my daily 10, because there's a portion of the lead-in and the warmup spinning I did that doesn't have any recorded milage, dang it!! (and I'm not jumping back on the bike for about 25 pedal strokes lolz) Meaning... it's recorded as 9.99 because that's what Strava says, but I'm saying I'm keeping my New Years Resolution to do a minimum of 10 miles a day as long as I have a bike available, darn it.

I am a walking wad of sweat and agony. I should know better than to try to stick to a group of young men in a Zwift event that suddenly became a race lolz

@billbiggers06 Am glad to entertain while I seethe in jealousy over your gorgeous riding route!!

I am getting really, REALLY good at this 'wait until the last danged minute in the day and peeve off the parrot by making him stay up 5 minutes late to finish the daily 10' thing.

@SimpleSimonEU Congratz on kickin' the coof!! Bet'cher lookin' forward to those miles, yeah? Have fun on your rides!!

@billbiggers06 Very nice!!! (and absolutely no foul in going up and down the street to hit an even number - I do that crap in Zwift all the time to get those extra experience points lmao)

Daily 10 done! Nice and (almost) effortless. Did ditch the pace partner so I could sprint it out, and it was no major loss because the counter, I discovered, is bugged that it doesn't tick up if you aren't on your own avatar. So when you're incapable of getting your Zwift Companion to sync with the app on your computer while riding and go give manual ride-ons via clicking on other people and giving them an individual ride-on, your multiplier doesn't increase. Booooooo.

No guilt sprinting when the multiplier was only x1.2 at 6 miles into the stupid ride lol - hit over 600 watts and held it for a solid 5 seconds! Good times. Held over 500 for the next 15 seconds, too. My avatar's butt didn't hit the seat until well past the goal posts.
